(8). A Carnation Manure. 



A gardener who grows good carnations has given me the 

 following recipe which he finds is a good manure. 



Nitrate of Lime .. .. .. .. 2 parts. 



Nitrate of Potash 2 parts. 



Superphosphate of Lime . . 7 parts. 



He applies it during the growing season in solution 

 oz. per gallon, or in the spring gives a dressing of it 

 i oz. per square yard. 

 (9). A Winter Manure. 



Basic Slag 4 Ibs. 



Calcium Cyanamide . . . . 2 Ibs. 



Kainit (dry) 2 Ibs. 



Mix well. Lightly scatter this over the surface of the 

 ground in December or January and dig in ; 2 or even 4 ozs. 

 per square yard can be used.
